Chasing the apocalypse: Radical Shiite clerics on American soil preach prophetic showdown with US
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
MANASSAS, Va. – FIRST ON FOX: For many, the war with Iran — and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — might seem like the climactic end to a long, brutal reign of terror by the theological clerics who have run the country since 1979.
But a Fox News Digital investigation reveals that, for certain hardline Shiite ideologues, including in the U.S., this is not an ending but a prophetic showdown that will usher in the arrival of the «Mahdi,» a messiah, according to Islamic eschatology, or the theology of end times.
In this prophecy, Mahdi will emerge to battle Dajjal, the Islamic equivalent of the Antichrist, in a final battle of Armageddon. For many of these ideologues, President Donald Trump is Dajjal.
At a recent Friday sermon at a local Shiite mosque in northern Virginia, an imam closed prayer with an earnest plea, before war broke out in Iran: «May Allah destroy all the nonbelievers – or kafiroon or munafiqoon,» he said, using Arabic words that refer to «nonbelievers» and «hypocrites.»
He asked for this victory «before the arrival of Imam Mahdi.»
Fox News Digital observed the sermon and also witnessed a special table of honor in the middle of the mosque’s main prayer hall, featuring framed photos of Khamenei embracing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrullah, also killed by Israel for orchestrating terrorist attacks.

The Friday service at the Manassas Mosque reveals a theological dynamic that Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned about in early February, noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s leaders are guided not merely by geopolitics and national security considerations, but by «pure theology.»
«We have to understand that Iran ultimately is governed, and its decisions are governed by Shiite clerics — radical Shiite clerics — who make policy decisions on the basis of pure theology,» Rubio said.
In its investigation, Fox News Digital conducted a digital analysis of hours of sermons and scores of pages of pro-regime protest slogans, messaging and social media posts, using large-language models, and found clerics, community leaders and media platforms in the U.S. framing tensions with Iran in explicitly apocalyptic terms rooted in eschatology, or Islamist end-times theology.
The investigation found that precepts shaping Tehran’s worldview, from its clerics to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, are also being preached on American soil by proxies for Iran’s propaganda.
From the mosque in northern Virginia to religious institutions in Michigan and Texas, clerics aligned with the Islamic Republic are advancing a doomsday interpretation of faith that casts geopolitical and military confrontation with the U.S. as part of a prophetic destiny tied to the return of the Mahdi.
After war broke out Friday night, Fox News Digital witnessed pro-regime chats on messaging platforms, like Telegram, filled with prayers, awaiting «the arrival» of Mahdi.
«We need Al Mahdi…His return with Jesus will be the final win permanently,» one read.
«The saviour the warrior the dominator ‘ imam mahdi ’ [sic] will arrive,» read another.
Last summer, the Manassas Mosque co-organized a White House protest with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition, CodePink and other far-left groups to support the Iranian regime. The groups are now again protesting Trump’s military action against Iran.
One demonstrator, wearing a black-and-white Palestinian keffiyeh scarf over her face, carried a flag last summer that read «Labayk ya Mahdi» in Arabic, meaning, «At your service, oh, Mahdi.»
In Farsi, Arabic and English, the flag also had the message, «I dedicate every single of my steps to your reappearance.»
U.S. clerics and media platforms promote Islamic «end times» theology that predicts the arrival of the Mahdi, or Messiah, to end «corruption» in the world. (TMJ News Network/Instagram @TMJNewsNetwork and 313 Wisdom of Imams/@313.wisdom)
DEADLY AUSTIN SHOOTING THAT KILLED 3 MAY BE ‘ACT OF TERRORISM,’ FBI SAYS
Pro-regime mosques, K-12 schools and local community organizations in the U.S. are «producing messaging that mirrors Tehran’s talking points almost word for word,» warned Andrew Ghalili, policy director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, an advocacy group led by Iranian Americans who oppose the theocratic regime running Iran.
In an upcoming report, «The Ayatollahs’ Influence Network in the United States,» reviewed by Fox News Digital, the group’s researchers conclude the Islamic Republic of Iran spreads «Tehran’s messaging» in a network of institutions it supports in the U.S., for example, pitting Trump as the Dajjal fighting defenders of the Mahdi, like Khamenei and now his successors.
«What we’re seeing is years of deliberate investment by the Islamic Republic inside the United States,» Ghalili told Fox News Digital.
«This is happening on American soil, and it’s just another way in which the regime poses a direct threat to the United States, this time not with missiles but through infiltration,» he said.
A gunman just killed three in Austin, Texas, wearing a sweater that said, «PROPERTY OF ALLAH.» According to media reports, law enforcement officials found the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran and photos of its leaders in his home.
On March 1, 2026, in Sana’a, Yemen, pro-Iran protesters brandish billboards depicting the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei, flags of Yemen and Iran, weapons, and chant slogans at a rally held to condemn the U.S.-Israel aerial attacks on Iran and the killing of Khamenei and several military officials.

ENEMY WITHIN: COUNTERTERRORISM EXPERTS FEAR SLEEPER CELLS COULD BE POISED INSIDE US
After the recent Friday service, two community leaders at the Manassas mosque declined to speak for attribution but told Fox News Digital that the rhetoric of destroying «nonbelievers» and the photos of Khamenei and the terrorist group leaders are meant to challenge «injustice» before the Mahdi appears.
A Harvard University report on «The Hidden Imam and the End of Time» recognizes the world’s two billion Muslims hold a range of beliefs regarding eschatology and many reject strict or literal interpretations.
In the majority Sunni sect and the minority Shiite sect of Islam, clerics describe the Mahdi’s army traveling from modern-day Iran to Damascus, Syria, where Jesus would appear at the Umayyad Mosque and pray behind the Mahdi. The Mahdi’s forces would battle Dajjal in Syria and kill him in Lod, Israel, conquering the world.
Days ago, Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency repeated the end-times narrative, quoting Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, claiming the regime is the «government of Imam Mahdi» and its anti-U.S. «resistance is the path to hastening his reappearance.»
With the dramatic backdrop of an American flag, skulls for stars and the message «DOWN WITH THE U.S.A.» over the flag’s stripes, Iranians attended a state-organized rally in Tehran, Iran, on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, celebrating the birthday of Imam Mahdi, or the «Hidden Imam,» a 9th-century saint whom Shiite Muslims believe will return at the end of time as a messiah to end tyranny and promote justice. In the U.S., Shiite clerics and mosques held similar celebrations, also vilifying the U.S. and supporting the regime running the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Vahid Salemi/AP)
IRAN OPERATING SECRET ‘BLACK BOX’ SITES HOLDING THOUSANDS IN DETENTION: REPORTS
For women’s rights activist Sara Ghorbani, a writer who fled Iran’s rigid theocratic rule in 2010, the regime’s death grip on power is disturbing.
«We’re fighting an evil that the world doesn’t truly comprehend in its belief that it has a divine mandate to usher in a day of apocalypse,» Ghorbani told Fox News Digital.
«Our brave people in Iran are fighting a tyranny that believes it is God’s salvation for this earth when, in fact, it is a cruel and ungodly regime that is actually their own prophecy of Dajjal,» added Ghorbani, who created a short video of children the Iranian regime allegedly killed in recent weeks.
Women’s rights activist Sara Ghorbani uses her Instagram account to share the stories of children allegedly killed by Iranian security forces amid recent protests against the country’s leaders. She challenges the narrative that the regime is fighting «injustice» by the U.S. «empire.» (Sarah Ghorbani/Instagram @sara.ghorbani13)
In Dearborn, Michigan, Usama Abdulghani, imam at the Hadi Institute, recently posted a controversial video on a YouTube channel for «Light of Guidance,» which says on its YouTube page that its content isn’t connected to any other organization.
Before war broke out, he warned congregants that «the empire is now right outside the door» of Iran, in the form of U.S. forces. The Hadi Institute and the Light of Guidance didn’t respond to requests for comment about the cleric’s statements.
In another lecture, he reassured congregants, «Iran has been waiting for the mother of all battles for 47 years,» since 1979. He said Americans shouldn’t fight «for this empire.»
He urged congregants to engage in a «clarification jihad» and convert Americans to Islam «before Imam Mahdi returns.»
In its report, the National Union for Democracy in Iran alleges that the Hadi Institute is a «rhetorically aggressive node in the pro-Iran ecosystem.» It has a publishing enterprise that says on its website that its staff «deliver an unfiltered message in promoting an Islamic worldview in preparation of the Mahdi.» The Hadi Institute and its publishing initiative didn’t respond to questions about the criticisms about its work.
It alleges anti-U.S. propaganda, like the doomsday scenario, is often expressed at venues supported by a pro-regime New York-based 501(c)(3) organization, the Alavi Foundation, which it alleges has built «durable, institution-based influence networks operating inside the United States through religious, educational and nonprofit structures.»
In its latest IRS Form 990 filing, the Alavi Foundation, headquartered on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, reported $58 million in assets. The Alavi Foundation didn’t respond to a request for comment about the allegations that it promotes propaganda that supports the regime in Iran.
At one point, Abdulghani reassured his congregation that Iran would defeat U.S. forces, saying, «Iran has something for these guys. Don’t be worried about Iran. Iran has been waiting for the mother of all battles for 47 years. They’ve been waiting for this. Iran is prepared. Don’t worry about that. Iran’s going to be able to handle its business.»
In a new report, researchers at the National Contagion Research Institute, based in Princeton, N.J., analyzed regime narratives alleging the CIA and Israel’s Mossad spy agency, fomented January’s protests against the regime, an allegation that Abdulghani repeated. They found «decentralized influence networks,» including in the U.S., «operationalize and amplify» pro-regime narratives.
The pro-regime messaging even invokes the end-times narrative to children. In late December, the «Muslim Student Association Persian-Speaking Group of North America» shared a video showing children coloring paper masks, swords and shields labeled «Ya Mahdi, Labayk,» or «Oh Mahdi, come.» The children staged mock attacks with their paper weapons amid Legos and glitter.
A few years ago, a video from the Islamic Education Center of Houston went viral in Iran, featuring students saying they would be soldiers for Imam Mahdi, singing, «I make an oath to be your martyr.» The center didn’t respond to requests for comment, but an academic told the local media the video was metaphorical allegiance to a religious figure.

The messianic messaging also extends to pro-regime media platforms. Earlier this month, a media website, TMJ News Network, published an article headlined, «The Promise of Justice Amid Corruption,» featuring an image of convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alongside a green-cloaked silhouette and images of other figures referenced in documents released by the Justice Department. Only Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has been implicated in illegal conduct in connection with the Epstein case.
The article stated that «against this backdrop, the Mahdist movement represents a promise of justice.»

On the anniversary of the 1979 Revolution, the pro-regime Light of Guidance hosted an assistant imam, Hassan Salamey, who invoked «the Epstein list» to denounce «the Satanic» West.
«The Islamic Republic is the system that is working to prepare the grounds for the saviors who will come side by side: Jesus, the son of Mary, and the Mahdi from the final prophet’s line,» he said. «This is the transitional government that will lead the fight to save us all.»
Back at the Manassas Mosque in northern Virginia, congregation members closed their prayers seeking to «destroy all the nonbelievers,» the portraits of Khamenei, Sinwar and Nasrullah over their shoulders.

‘Te van a matar’: un divertido festival de sangre que emula a Tarantino y con ecos de ‘La semilla del diablo’ y la isla de Epstein
Cada vez es más complicado saber qué pasa en Rusia, aunque hayan llegado en las últimas semanas películas para arrojar algo de luz como El mago del Kremlin. Aun así, no hace falta indagar mucho para imaginar qué estaba viendo el director Kirill Sokolov en el año 2003. La influencia de Kill Bill en particular y de Quentin Tarantino en general entró como un elefante en una cacharrería en casa del cineasta ruso, que originalmente iba a ser físico y que ha terminado convirtiéndose en una de las voces más interesantes del terror en Rusia, hasta el punto de que era inevitable que terminase desembarcando donde mejor podía funcionar su cine, en la cuna de las patadas voladoras y los charcos de sangre.
En el corazón de Nueva York se ambienta Te van a matar, primer proyecto de Sokolov fuera de Rusia tras las sorprendentes ¿Por qué no te mueres? y Sin mirar atrás, que le labraron un nombre en su país pero que sobre todo atrajeron la atención de los hermanos Barbara y Andy Muschietti, las mentes detrás de Mamá o Bienvenidos a Derry y quienes se embarcan en su primera aventura producida bajo el sello de terror Nocturna, asociado a la gigantesca Skydance, pero de la que seguro saldrán títulos tan interesantes y frescos como este. Curiosamente, Te van a matar se parece mucho más a las películas violentas de Asia que al terror que podrían hacer los Muschietti, pero quizá ha sido ese contraste lo que les ha convencido para apostar por Sokolov. En cualquier caso, hay una cosa que permanece común en ambos y no es otra que el humor, muy presente a lo largo del desfile de hígados, ojos y otras vísceras por los pasillos del hotel.
En ese hotel transcurre por completo la historia de Te van a matar, centrada en el ascenso a los infiernos de Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz), una joven exconvicta que se adentra en el complejo haciéndose pasar por empleada del hogar para intentar encontrar a su hermana, a la que perdió diez años atrás intentando escapar de su abusivo padre. Para aterradora sorpresa, el staff del hotel tampoco es del todo el que dice ser, ya que Asia se convierte en el objetivo de un culto satánico que lleva operando décadas sin levantar sospechas, pero que encontrará en Asia un hueso duro de roer.
El hotel de los horrores
Por más neoyorquino que pueda parecer el Virgil que acoge la historia, lo cierto es que la semilla remite a la madre Rusia, en concreto al edificio de pisos en el que vivía originalmente Sokolov junto a su mujer. “Enseguida nos dimos cuenta de que éramos los únicos dos menores de 65 años. La mayoría de los demás inquilinos eran ancianas solitarias. Pasaban todo el día dando de comer a los gatos callejeros y, cada vez que salías o volvías, cotilleaban y hablaban de ti. Esta tensión fue creciendo cada vez más, y mi mujer y yo empezamos a bromear diciendo que era una secta que vendría a por nosotros en algún momento”, contaba el director en una entrevista, una inspiración que cristalizó por completo con el visionado, cómo no, de La semilla del diablo, la película de Roman Polanski que revolucionó el terror en los años 60 y que plasmaba como ninguna el horror claustrofóbico y el miedo a las sectas.
De forma mucho más ligera y desenfadada ha querido encarar Sokolov esta película, que se recrea en sus secuencias de acción intentando emular a Tarantino con un hacha en lugar de katanas, pero con el mismo baño de sangre. “La historia empieza con un tono bastante realista, pero a medida que avanza, se vuelve cada vez más alocada. Por eso quise cambiar el lenguaje visual y el estilo para que se viera y se sintiera más alocada a medida que la historia se vuelve más alocada. Partimos de una historia clásica, casi al estilo de La semilla del diablo, y luego damos un giro hacia la realidad de Kill Bill y la de Sam Raimi. Fue una progresión interesante con la que jugar, e intentamos que cada transición fuera fluida e imperceptible“, reconocía Sokolov, mencionando también el anime Afro Samurai como punto clave de referencia.
Reina del grito (y del hacha)
Lo cierto es que lo mejor de Te van a matar es precisamente ese inicio en el que las piezas comienzan a encajarse dentro del puzle, pues una vez el espectador se encuentra en el mismo punto que la protagonista y todas las cartas se ponen sobre la mesa, la violencia crece pero la intriga desaparece. Un giro que, sin desvelar mucho, alude directamente a la isla de Epstein y que viene a confirmar lo agotada que está la fórmula del eat the rich que lleva trabajando la ficción audiovisual en los últimos años, desde El triángulo de la tristeza o El menú hasta Noche de bodas, que precisamente tendrá su continuación la próxima semana.
A pesar de todo, cabe destacar la presencia de Zazie Beetz, imponente protagonista hasta el punto de opacar a los no tan trabajados personajes de Tom Felton o Heather Graham, otrora secundarios de lujo en Boogie Nights y Austin Powers por un lado, y como el icónico Draco Malfoy de Harry Potter por otro, cuando no la dueña del hotel interpretada por Patricia Arquette. La actriz que brillase en la serie Atlanta y que ya tenía experiencia con los cuchillos de su paso por Marvel con Deadpool derrocha carisma por los cuatro costados mientras salta y se desliza en su festival de sangre, coreografiado al más puro estilo John Wick pero que por momentos se puede hacer algo repetitivo en una película que, precisamente por divertida y cómica, deja con un sabor a poco en su conclusión, aunque, tal y como promete su director, quizá falte aún universo por recorrer.

Uganda’s military chief has warned the African country’s armed forces could enter the Iran war on Israel’s side after issuing a series of statements on social media that went viral this week.
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba — son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni — who is considered to be his likely successor, has spent this week making a barrage of posts on X in support of Israel.
«We stand with Israel because we are Christians,» he wrote, adding in another post, «Uganda is the David that was forgotten and neglected by the world. We will defeat the giant, Goliath.»

Kainerugaba began his social media blitz with, «We want the war in the Middle East to end now. The world is tired of it. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!»
Uganda has 45,000 active military personnel in the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF), with around 35,000 reserves, according to its ministry of defense. It’s estimated to have approximately 240 tanks and over 1,000 armored fighting vehicles.
The nation is also heavily involved militarily in conflict-affected countries. Its soldiers fight as part of an African Union force against Islamist al-Shabab terrorists in Somalia. Their army is also still operating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) against the Islamic State-linked ADF terrorist group.
While Iran is not known to have any interests in Uganda, it has been accused of covert operations in neighboring Kenya and Tanzania, including the running of smuggling networks and making controversial diplomatic and economic outreach with questionable motives throughout the region. Although landlocked, Uganda is said to be wary of Iran’s strategic interest in gaining a presence in the regional waters of the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.

In another post he stated, «Israel stood with us when we were nobodies in the 1980s and 1990s. Why wouldn’t we defend her now that our GDP is $100 billion? One of the largest in Africa.»
Israel has historically trained Ugandan forces, including the general. It is understood that Uganda maintains a strong strategic partnership with Israel, with close security and intelligence ties.

It wasn’t always like this. In 1976, with dictator Idi Amin aggressively opposing Israel, four terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 139 on its way from Tel Aviv to France. The plane was diverted to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. During the night of July 3, 1976, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) mounted a long-range rescue mission, originally codenamed Operation Thunderbolt, to rescue 106 mostly Israeli hostages being held.
The mission was retroactively renamed Operation Yonatan after the mission’s leader, Lt. Col. Yonatan «Yoni» Netanyahu, the elder brother of the current Israeli Prime Minister, was killed by a Ugandan sniper during the raid. The Israeli soldiers pulled off a successful rescue, but four hostages, seven hijackers and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed.

Kainerugaba announced that in a further gesture of goodwill toward Israel, he intends to have a statue of Yonatan Netanyahu erected at the exact spot in Entebbe’s airport where he fell. This week, Kainerugaba posted a photo of the statue on X, dubbing it «a sneak peek.»

Soros-backed group among liberal orgs pumping eye-popping cash into Virginia gerrymandering effort
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A group fighting to get Virginia voters to approve an April 21 referendum to let Democrats in the state redraw its congressional maps is being pumped with liberal cash, receiving over $38 million from less than a dozen left-wing entities over the last three months, including from the George Soros-backed Fund For Policy Reform Inc.
The Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) tracks state spending in Virginia and, according to its database, Virginians for Fair Elections has received $5 million from the Soros-funded and founded entity, which is within his Open Society Foundations Network of groups known for pushing liberal causes.
Soros’ latest cause is a massive gerrymandering effort in Virginia, where the state’s congressional delegation could go from effectively 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans, to 10-Democratic-leaning districts and one Republican-leaning district, per VPAP. Virginians for Fair Elections is one of the main vehicles pushing Virginia voters to vote «yes» on April 21 to redraw the state’s maps. Virginia’s decision to redraw its maps came after mid-decade redistricting efforts by Republicans in Texas, which significantly changed the state’s electoral maps.
VIRGINIA DEM ADMITS REDISTRICTING PUSH AIMS TO ‘STOP TRUMP’, NOT ABOUT ‘FAIRNESS’

Tens of millions of dollars have been pumped into the state of Virginia ahead of the April 21 referendum vote, with the vast majority going to the Democratic side of the issue.
Besides money from Soros’ network, in 2026, Virginians for Fair elections received $20 million from the nonprofit counterpart of House Democrats’ House Majority PAC, $100,000 from Sen. Tim Kaine’s, D-Va., leadership PAC, a little over $10 million from the progressive nonprofit that funds ballot initiatives nationwide, The Fairness Project, almost $500,000 from the Democratic Party of Virginia, $1 million from the Global Impact Social Welfare Fund, $1 million from a group called American Opportunity Action, and then several other smaller donations from wealthy liberal backers.
The main group opposing redistricting, Virginians For Fair Maps, has only raised a little over $3 million from just two donors in 2026. $560,000 came from the Republican Party of Virginia while the remaining $2.5 million came from a group by the same name, Virginians for Fair Maps, according to VPAP.

Despite the fundraising advantage, the referendum is still expected to be close. Since polls opened March 6 for early voting, turnout in Republican-heavy counties has been high compared to the state’s election turnout in November, when Democrats performed very well and Spanberger took over the Governor’s mansion, while Jones took over the attorney general’s Office.
Democrats in the state have reportedly been urging Spanberger to get more assertive in the redistricting effort.
Democrat Beth Macy, who is running for Congress in one of the five House districts currently held by Republicans, said Virginia Democrats «gotta stop bringing a spork to a knife fight,» according to Politico. She added that it would be «helpful» for Spanberger «to be the spokesperson on redistricting because she did so well and won by so much.»
Soros’ network of groups and PACs has also been a powerful force behind supporting dozens of far-left district attorneys, such as the formerly recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, Chicago’s Kim Foxx, and L.A.’s George Gascon. In 2022, 1 in 5 Americans were represented by a Soros-linked prosecutor, according to data from the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund.
In Virginia, Soros’ Democracy PAC donated at least $500K to help Spanberger become governor and to help Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, who fantasized about killing his Republican rival and his family, get elected. His PACs have also donated millions to the campaign coffers of far-left district attorneys in Virginia.

Fox News Digital reached out to Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the other top donors pumping millions into the redistricting battle, but did not receive a response from Soros’ group ahead of publication.
«No one wanted to take this action, but in a democracy, we can’t let entire states rig their congressional maps just to bend to the will of one person. We have to respond. This amendment is a temporary, one-time exception that gives Virginia voters a voice and meets the needs of the current moment, while ensuring Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting process will resume after the 2030 census,» Alexis Magnan-Callaway, a spokesperson for The Fairness Project, told Fox News digital.
«The ballot measure allows Virginia voters, not politicians, to decide for themselves whether they want new, temporary districts,» she continued. «This isn’t about favoring one party over another. This is about restoring fairness across the board by temporarily changing Virginia’s congressional districts.»
